Since the late 1800s, there has been an active charter boat fleet in and around Beach Haven. That fleet continues today as the Beach Haven Charter Fishing Association, with boats available for charter fishing on Long Beach Island from the Causeway south to Holgate, and on the mainland from Lanoka Harbor in the north to Tuckerton in the south.

The captains are experienced fishermen, and they are all licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard.
